About Hill House

This is a large holiday house with WOW factor. Approached down a tree lined drive and set in large, beautiful gardens with lovely countryside views, it is just made for an idyllic family get together. Built of local stone and with a magical crenelated tower, there is something for everyone, including a hot tub, a cosy cinema room - seating 6, table tennis, pool table and lots of space. The house has many quirky features with accommodation including a large dining hall with cathedral height ceilings and minstrels gallery to a Roman inspired decked atrium with hot tub.

The house is beautifully furnished in peaceful creams and beiges with lots of different seating areas for all. The cosy drawing room is bathed in sunshine and overlooks the garden, the sofas on the galleried area look down over the dining room, and there is even a cinema! The kitchen is equipped with everything a chef could need is light and airy with one wall covered in signatures of visitors to the house including several famous bands and actors as you would expect so close to Glastonbury.

All the bedrooms are spacious and light with White Company linen and comfortable beds with bathrooms stocked with 'Bramley' toiletry products and each having a charming view of the gardens.

Outside there is plenty of space, including a lovely flower filled courtyard, the beautiful lawns that surround Hill House and plenty of informal seating with a BBQ.

Finally, as you enter, there is a large basket full of champagne and wine corks to remember the happy times guests have had in the house. The owners are hoping that everyone staying will add to the pile as a special memory of their stay - we know you will happily oblige!

September 2017

Service rating : Although the property was exactly what we wanted, we found that Mulberry were very efficient when it came to collecting money but reactive rather than proactive when we required information.Product : The property was excellent as was Bobby the owner.There were a number of maintenance items that needed attention and the area around the hot tub was in need of a good clean. We also found the hot water in the taps to be dangerously hot (The owner was informed)

August 2017

Service rating : Slick and responsive serviceProduct : Wow what a truly fab house. There were 15 of us (age 9 to 79) and one dog, and the house never felt crowded. The kids really loved the hot tub and cinema room. The dining room is stunning; and the kitchen very very nice. I don't know what we're going to do next year as this set a standard that can't be beaten. Having so many bedrooms at ground level worked really well for us. The true test is would we go back and would we recommend it? The answer is yes to both.

August 2017

Service rating : Generally very good but no responses to questions on telephoneProduct : Superb property. Wonderful service. Exactly as described on website. Everything catered for.

May 2017

Service rating : An amazing place to spend the weekend with friends and family.Product : Everything about the place was five star

May 2017

Service rating : Mulberry Cottages were very helpful in the lead up to our visit. If we had any questions they'd immediately contact the owner and get back to you quickly - they were very responsive, both through email and on the phone. Lovely staff and service! I will definitely be booking through Mulberry Cottages in the future.Product : We recently stayed at Hill House for a hen weekend - it was beautiful! We happened to meet the owner when we were there and she was absolutely lovely - she'd even left home-made cake, local ales and cheese for us to have.

The house is absolutely stunning - especially the dining area where we spent most of our time. It's in a lovely rural location with plenty of outdoor space. We loved every second at Hill House!

May 2017

Very good service and lovely properties.

April 2017

Service rating : Beautiful house. Great location. Very well equipped. Loved the hot tub!Product : Fantastic house and great hot tub! Very well equipped! Thoroughly recommend this house for large gatherings!

February 2017

Service rating : A lovely cottage in a pretty good location with easy to follow directions. A lovely gift of scrummy cake and local cheese awaited us. A beautiful home from home which we would have given 5 stars had it not been too cold for Early December when we visited. It would have been better if the large doors to the dining room fitted so daylight could not be seen through them. Highly recommend for summer and we would be happy to return in warmer weather. The sitting room was very comfortable as we were able to bring it up to a normal temperature.Product : Perfect in every aspect but all but sitting room too cold for winter.

Service rating : Always quick to help with any questions leading up to our stayProduct : Just returned from an amazing week at Hill House. So many fantastic memories made with the whole family, it was great for us all to meet up and spend time together here. We loved the hot tub, & the cinema room is fab! We had a great time playing games on the lawn. The owners were always a quick call or text away & nothing was too much trouble for them, they helped resolve a small issue very quickly, excellent service. The welcome gifts of homemade cake & locally produced cheese & cider were a pleasant surprise & enjoyed by all. Can't recommend this property enough & would love to go back ourselves too ThanksEmma

June 2016

Service rating : Contacted Mulberry cottages a few times and was dealt with in a professional and friendly way each time. Website is and e-mail communication is also good. I would definitely use recommend them.Product : We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hill House, it was a perfect place for a fun and relaxing family holiday. The facilities were excellent and the setting was beautiful. The only thing I feel needs to be clarified on the website is that there are a couple of steps from the dining room into the kitchen which were an issue for our party. All the bedrooms are spacious and the atrium with large hot-tub is stunning. The owner was really helpful and accommodating of our needs, the welcome gifts of local produce was unexpected but very much enjoyed. The garden was excellent for family games, luckily we also had fantastic weather! I would have preferred the garden to be better fenced as we also took our dogs on holiday, but this didn't affect our enjoyment of it. The cinema room was a firm favourite with the teenagers. I would recommend this property as it has everything needed for a great family holiday . Thanks!

WHEN DO YOU WANT TO STAY?

Check availability and plan your break

"I have just been part of a large group to stay at Hill House, Shapwick, with Mulberry Cottages.
I wanted to feedback that the house was outstanding, and in every way exceeded our expectations. The property was spotlessly clean on arrival, and was extremely well stocked with equipment, and extras such as the home made cake and local cheese, cider etc. The beds (and the bedding) were clearly of the highest quality, and it would be hard to fault anything. I will be recommending this property to friends and family without hesitation.

"“Many thanks once again for providing a wonderful home for our family holiday. None of us wanted to leave! Apparently our daughter’s locket was purchased in Weston not Glastonbury but thank you for offering to find a replacement! Take care and we'll maybe see you again for our next holiday together”"

Tracey

"What a magnificent house. The owner could not have been more friendly, welcoming and helpful. She went above and beyond on Saturday evening when a guest thought she lost a gold chain in the hot tub filter and came over to help her look. It would have been helpful to know that the kitchen was so incredibly well stocked as we then wouldn't have brought quite so much with us! Everything really was fantastic though, thank you."

May 2014

"The house was everything we hoped for and in a wonderful spot.. Hot tub was great! Would definitely think of booking it again and the owner was very helpful & welcoming."
